Why we moved here!

With the finish of tax season, we decided to take a family trip for the weekend. We headed down to Santa Cruz, CA for a vaca! Our goal: spend two days on the beach! It was so relaxing and beautiful. I forgot how much I love the beach. This is yet another reason why we moved here!
We went down to the boardwalk and they have a small amusement park there. Emma saw the merri-go-round and wanted to ride. Lame- I had to buy another 3 tickets if I wanted to ride with her because she was an inch above the height line...whatev! So she was a little scared, but still had fun. I think she doing a curtsey for the camera. And what would the beach be like without a lighthouse, just for me. :)

Isn't it so pretty? There were a ton of sailboats out for the weekend.

We buried Emma's legs. She loved it. We tried it with Camilla, she didn't love it.

Posing with dad. Do you love the random people in the background?



Playing in the water.


If you look close, Emma is screaming as she is running away from the water. Everytime the tide would come in, she would scream and run away from it. I wish we would have gotten the first time on camera. She was so scared and booked it faster than I have ever seen her run. So funny Emma!
And Camilla only wanted to be held. The sound of the waves scared her really bad.
This video is how Camilla was at the beach the whole time. She was pouting because it isn't her favorite. Then she was scared of the water. She would run away from the water. But she didn't get used to it like Emma did.
We had an awesome weekend! I highly recommend a family vacation after tax season!
